Shanghua had been guarding here all along, and upon seeing Kun Bai coming up, immediately went to greet him.

"Master!" Shanghua said respectfully.

"What's going on?" Kun Bai asked with a frown. "Why is it so hot here?"

Shanghua shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. Since yesterday, the temperature here has been hotter than outside."

"What's the situation inside?" Kun Bai asked.

"Everything is normal."

"Only one meal a day?" Kun Bai asked.

Shanghua nodded, "Every time we deliver food, Ye Xin is cultivating. Because the Sect Master instructed earlier to let Ye Xin focus on cultivation without disturbance, we only dare to leave the food on the table and depart, not daring to disturb her. But based on my observation, she only eats a little during the evening meal, and the others haven't been consumed at all."

"Not even a meal a day?" Kun Bai said angrily, "How can this be possible!"

Since returning, Ye Xin had been taught the Inner Sect cultivation technique by the Sect Master and began her cultivation.

However, the injury Kun Bai sustained could not fully recover, forcing him to nurture secretly, not daring to reveal it, and he acted as if nothing was wrong in front of everyone every day. But only he knew inside and was the most anxious.

The inability to recover from the injury naturally meant his strength couldn't recover to its original state and couldn't keep up with the cultivation progress of several fellow disciples, possibly even getting eliminated!

This was something he hoped not to see.

Now, he was responsible for Ye Xin's matters, and if anything went wrong, it would be a responsibility he couldn't bear.

Hence, he appeared very angry.

Immediately, Kun Bai pushed the door open and entered Ye Xin's resting room.

Upon entry, Kun Bai saw Ye Xin cultivating in a cross-legged position.

Kun Bai's eyes widened instantly.

"How is this possible!" Shanghua exclaimed in surprise, covering his mouth.

"Heavens!" Shangxi was even more dumbfounded.

At this moment, Ye Xin sat cross-legged with hands forming a lotus and resting on her knees, looking as dignified and beautiful as a meditating Guanyin.

But most importantly, a faint glow of fire surrounded Ye Xin, swirling around her, making the stunning Ye Xin appear somewhat exotic and deeply enthralling under the red firelight.

"Not good!" Kun Bai exclaimed, his face changing dramatically.

In Kun Bai's view, Ye Xin's manifestation was very much like a deviation due to inner demons!

Otherwise, where did these flames come from?

Where did this heat come from?

No one taught Ye Xin, and she had been honing her skills for a long time outside, laying a good foundation, thus her cultivation was highly efficient. However, if not guided well, a deviation could occur, with more severe consequences.

Although Ye Xin was personally instructed by the Sect Master, how she cultivated was none of his business, yet he was currently responsible for Ye Xin's safety, and if anything untoward happened to Ye Xin here, he would likewise be held responsible.

Immediately, Kun Bai spoke in a somber tone, "No! She cannot continue reckless cultivation here! Interrupt her at once!"

Saying this, Kun Bai rushed forward, intending to interrupt Ye Xin.

Just as Kun Bai's hand was about to touch Ye Xin's shoulder, Ye Xin's beautiful eyes suddenly opened!

From Ye Xin's beautiful eyes, two flames seemed to shoot out, causing Kun Bai's eyes to sting as if burned.

The next moment, Kun Bai's hand was grabbed by a pair of jade hands.

Kun Bai's entire body was forcibly halted, in a forward-thrusting posture.

Feeling the power exerted on his hand, Kun Bai's expression changed dramatically.

"How is this possible!" Shanghua said in surprise, his eyes widening.

Shangxi retreated two steps, exclaiming in shock, "She...how could she..."

The two clearly saw.

Kun Bai rushed forward trying to interrupt Ye Xin but was stopped by Ye Xin's grasp, maintaining his forward-thrusting posture, but his body was already held still.

Clearly visible was beneath Kun Bai's feet, due to the force exerted, his body didn't advance, shifting naturally to the ground from the force, resulting in many cracks on the floor. Beneath Kun Bai's position, the floorboards were crushed entirely, sliding back a lot, leaving trails behind!

This demonstrated how strong Kun Bai's force was just now, and how powerful Ye Xin's restraint force was.

And Ye Xin being able to easily stop Kun Bai left the two feeling astonished and deeply shocked.

Kun Bai stared at Ye Xin, surprise flashing through his eyes, speaking in a somber tone, "You..."

Ye Xin snorted coldly, exerting force in her hand, she said coldly, "You, as a hall master of the Shangqing Sect, don't know that you should not be interrupted during cultivation, especially at crucial times?"

In Ye Xin's eyes, a surge of red light erupted, almost instantly occupying her eyes, turning her originally black pupils red, looking extremely exotic and terrifying!

Simultaneously, Ye Xin exerted power in her hands; upon feeling an immense force, Kun Bai hastily turned sharply, spinning along Ye Xin's force, otherwise, his wrist might have been completely twisted!

After spinning once with no effect, Ye Xin snorted coldly, delivering a palm strike.

Bang!

Hum!

Kun Bai groaned, feeling like his entire arm was about to be snapped.

Meanwhile, a massive force transmitted, sending him flying out.

"Master!"

Shanghua and Shangxi simultaneously exclaimed in shock.

They watched as Kun Bai flew out the door, like a rag doll tossed away.

Bang!

Kun Bai landed heavily on the ground, let out a miserable cry.

Shanghua and Shangxi appeared as if struck by lightning, staring in disbelief.

To them, their all-powerful, invincible Master, how could he be sent flying by Ye Xin with just one palm strike?

They couldn't wrap their heads around it.

Just a few days ago, their Master was heavily injured by Yang Chen, and now was struck flying by Ye Xin, could it be their Master was just a paper tiger, all bark and no bite?

At this moment, Ye Xin had stood up, her eyes flickering with a red glow rife with killing intent.

Feeling Ye Xin's murderous aura, Shanghua and Shangxi retreated in fear.

Kun Bai also struggled to stand up, looking at Ye Xin in horror, his chest surging with blood.

He had felt the immense power of Ye Xin just now, realizing he might be unable to contend with her, even at his peak state.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Kun Bai couldn't believe it. How could Ye Xin's strength undergo such a change in just a few days, it was too unbelievable!

Seeing the red glow in Ye Xin's eyes, along with the unrestrained killing intent, Kun Bai inwardly yelled out, feeling something was awry.

Previously, when Jin Chen was involved, Ye Xin had shown killing intent. But back then, her strength was insufficient; now, possessing such strong power, she would certainly make a move to kill him!

"Quickly act! Stop her!" Kun Bai hurriedly shouted.

Shanghua and Shangxi exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and charged towards Ye Xin.

They had no choice; they were Kun Bai's disciples, they couldn't disobey his orders.

But in the next moment, Kun Bai's eyes widened.

Bang!

Bang!

Shanghua and Shangxi fell on either side of Kun Bai, sprawled on the ground, clutching their chests, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.

"Those who stop me! Die!" Ye Xin's lips parted lightly, uttering coldly.
